Sarah Vendal

Former Bachelor contestant Sarah Vendal may have not found love on the TV show, but she did find The Alamo and the Tube Chute in New Braunfels in late August. "Sundays are now for the river," she said in this Instagram post.

One of Texas' most famous couples, Chip and Joanna Gaines, spent Valentine's Day 2017 in San Antonio and posted photos on Instagram of their stops at the Alamo and the music venue Jazz, TX at the Pearl.

Comedian George Lopez was spotted at the Dominion Country Club golf course during the week of Fourth of July. He was apparently in town to attend Carlos Santana's show at the Majestic Theatre. At that show, American activist icon Dolores Huerta and guitar great Jimmie Vaughan were also in attendance.

Somewhere between international concert tours and TV show production, a whole list of celebrities made time to visit San Antonio throughout the year and create memories with locals.

From Metallica and artists like Despacito singer Luis Fonsi to actors like Samuel L. Jackson, San Antonians were able to impress their social media friends with photos of the stars enjoying themselves around town at Mi Tierra, the Riverwalk and The Pearl.

Of course, public events brought plenty of stars to the Alamo City, but an exclusive party wrangled a few noteworthy names, too.

Earlier this month, top injury attorney, Thomas J. Henry, threw a bash for his 18-year-old son that was worthy of celebrity attention. The $4 million shindig came with a star-studded list featuring Migos, J. Balvin, Diplo and more.

That party received much fanfare and worldwide attention from publications like Daily Mail and TMZ.

While other star stops in San Antonio were more discreet, they left a lasting impact on a few residents who either got a boost to their small business by adding some star power to their clientele or received a generous tip from a big name during a time of need.

Find out which celebrities made their way to San Antonio in the gallery above.
